Funkshion Fashion Week Miami Beach, which has been giving us free designer runway shows for 12 years now, returned to the sands with five-days of catwalk capers recently.

And we do mean sands. The shows were staged in a mammoth tent set up on the beach of South Beach. Funkshion started in 2003 and has had two seasonal shows a year ever since.

For more information, or to sign up for future shows, go to Funkshion.com.

This year features the house of Perry Ellis, Cubavera, Liliana Montoya and Calyann Barnett (Dwyane Wade's stylist). International fashion house Dior launched their newest Miss Dior fragrance with a sneak peek of the campaign's commercial starring Natalie Portman.
